Mobile Ad hoc Network otherwise known as MANET has been generating a lot ofinterest in the research community especially at the routing protocol.However, there is little research on how TCP (Transport Control Protocol) performs over MANET. TCP was originally designed to provide reliable end-to-end data delivery over unreliable networks with wired network in mind. However, if traditional TCP is implemented in MANET without considering the unique properties of mobile ad hoc network, this will lead to poor performance. In this paper, we investigate the performance of TCP over MANET.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
